Cystoscopy is a test that allows your doctor to look at the interior lining of the bladder . The cystoscope is a thin, lighted viewing instrument that is inserted into the urethra and advanced into the bladder.
The cystoscope is inserted into your urethra and slowly advanced into the bladder while your doctor looks through the scope to examine the inside of the urethra. Your doctor then examines the inside of your bladder for stones, tumors, bleeding, and infection. Cystoscopy allows your doctor to look at areas of your bladder and urethra that usually do not show up well on X-rays. Tiny surgical instruments can be advanced through the cystoscope that allow your doctor to remove samples of tissue (biopsy) or samples of urine from each kidney. ok i have shared with all of you my hell ....with you all by my side i just learn to deal with it.......knowing you all are in my world...makes it easy to get through...tom
